Comment(by cyberhobo):

 I'll see if I can find some time to look at this again.

 Re: Step 4, I recall thinking it would be harder to add an extra exchange
 like a confirmation (in addition to being a UX change). My compromise was
 to add an "upgrade existing plugin(s)" checkbox to the initial upload form
 instead (also a UX change).

 The other question I recall having is that I needed data like
 get_plugins() returns, but get_plugins() won't run on the unzipped archive
 in the working directory. I'm not entirely clear why that is, or if it
 would be worth adapting that code to this purpose rather than repeating
 much of it.
